Musical Arts Center of San Antonio to open second school

Musical Arts Center of San Antonio Inc. will open a second location at 4 p.m. Aug. 29, this one at 700 E. Sonterra Blvd. in the Plaza at Concord Park in Stone Oak. Music ranging from classical to rock will be performed by MACSA students during opening festivities.

Musical Arts Center, owned by Ken Thompson, is a music school. The new center will offer 10 studios, each with a grand piano, and four studios equipped with strings, guitar, voice and percussion.

Thompson opened the original Musical Arts Center in 1999 near the intersection of Interstate 10 and DeZavala. The new Stone Oak center replaces the previous second location that had been at the Steinway building near U.S. Highway 281 and Loop 410 since 2006.
